Hyundai’s SUV lineup continues to grow volumes in April 2026, led by Creta, Venue and Exeter
Hyundai Motor India recorded total domestic sales of 51,902 units in April 2026. This implies a healthy growth of 17% year-on-year (YoY) compared to 44,374 units sold in April 2025. However, on a month-on-month (MoM) basis, sales declined by 6% compared to 55,064 units sold in March 2026.
SUVs continued to contribute significantly to Hyundai’s sales volumes. Creta was the company’s best-selling model with sales of 15,291 units last month. Despite maintaining its leading position in the mid-size SUV segment, Creta sales declined by 10% YoY and 14% MoM. Recently, the entry of new rivals and increasing competition in the segment has impacted demand.

New SUV planned
Hyundai has already confirmed plans to expand its SUV portfolio in India. The company recently announced two all-new SUVs for the Indian market, both of which are expected to arrive by March 2027. One of these will be a new midsize crossover positioned between the Venue and Creta, reportedly based on the Bayonne. The second model will be a compact electric SUV targeted at the growing mass-market EV segment. As competition intensifies in the Indian market, Hyundai is also preparing the next generation Creta with several updates to its ICE and EV lineup.
